Hi David,

please explain why tomcat5 should suggest java-gcj-compat-dev. It already
(conditional) depends on it. The current depends line is enough to get a
working tomcat5 IMHO. It either pulls kaffe or java-gcj-compat-dev in.
During startup it will pickup the first available on the path.

Regards,
Wolfgang
